WSG Gallery featured in The Crafts Report magazine

“…In addition to the fairs, Ann Arbor has an impressive gallery scene. WSG (formerly on Washington Street, now on Main), represents an outstanding group of contemporary regional artists….”

Ann Arbor Arts in American Style Magazine

“…head for WSG Gallery (306 S. Main St.), owned by 16 artists, and a showcase for fine art at affordable prices by 22 local artists. WSG caters to a whole spectrum of art lovers, says member artist Michelle Hegyi: those who come to browse, those following how a particular artist evolves, and those looking for exceptional quality, affordable fine art…”

When?
Open every day at noon. Closed Mondays. Evening hours Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

In 1999, a group of 12 local artists opened what has turned out to be Ann Arbor’s award-winning and longest running gallery. Each artist is featured in a rotating one-person exhibit lasting about 5-6 weeks. At the same time work by the other member artists is also on exhibit throughout the gallery. And so it continues today at our present location, in a historic building on Main Street.

Many art lovers remember WSG Gallery on Washington Street, (thus the original name from which we take our initials) which then moved to Liberty Street, and is now on Main. Over the years new member artists are juried in as others have gone on to pursue other endeavors and we currently have grown to 16 artist-members, many of whom have taught art professionally through the university level.

WSG Gallery also shows work by eight to ten visiting artists juried in by the members – each joins us for six months. In addition to exhibits by member artists, we also host two special shows – the Holiday Show in December, followed by 16 +16 in January, where each WSG member invites an artist he/she admires to exhibit with us.

Our openings are usually on the first Friday evening after a new show begins.

One of the nicest features about the gallery mentioned by many of our customers besides their amazement at the quality and prices of our artwork (no middlemen!), is their opportunity to talk with the artists. Join us at the openings to enjoy food and conversation and to meet and talk to many of the artists on exhibit, or anytime to be able to interact with one of our member artists and enjoy viewing our many offerings:
